HC Deb 22 March 1990 vol 169 cc693-4W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister what representations she has made to Chancellor Kohl about his proposal that West Germany should use its trade surplus to invest in East Germany; and how great she estimates Britain's contribution will be to rebuilding East Germany for 1990 if the process is financed on that basis.

The Prime Minister

The financing of the rebuilding of East Germany is a matter for the German authorities and individual companies, both in Germany and elsewhere.
